What You Need To Know About Patio Doors: Hinged vs. Sliding for your Nashville, TN home

October 30, 2014

Adding or replacing patio doors in your home can come with a lot of considerations. From color to material type or product line, there are a lot of things to consider. Among these options is the key decision of whether you go with a hinged or sliding patio door. Both are great choices and offer their own unique benefits, but ultimately there is one that will work best with your home and style.

Unsure which option is right for your home? Here’s a little more information to help you come to a decision on whether you should purchase a hinged or sliding patio door.

Sliding Patio Doors:

If an area is tight, a sliding patio
door is most likely the better door given that
they don’t require room to swing open

Due to their construction they are easy to
take care of

Their large glass panels allow for maximum natural light

Offer a contemporary look for modern homes

Pella Sliding Doors are equipped with a foot bolt
lock to open the door about three inches to allow for ventilation.

Hinged Patio Doors:

Give you a
bigger opening for more foot traffic and allow for furniture to
pass through easily
